LGBTQ+ Pride flag background: WGS South LGBTQ Caucus Call for Papers: "What remains: Queer politics of liberation." Submissions Due December 1, 2026

With the rescinding and cancellation of federal research grants, the closure of WGS departments across the nation, and ongoing legislative attacks on people of color, immigrants, queer and trans people, the fantasy of academic freedoms is revealed, and we must grapple with the realities of living and working underground. This work is not new to trans and queer lives, histories, and politics, particularly when considered through the intersections of settler colonialism and racial capitalism. LGBTQ lives and politics that challenge the logics that reproduce our oppressions have always needed to imagine and engage alternative strategies. Indeed, this political moment demands that we attend to this call for radicality and fugitivity, to imagine forms of knowledge production and community formation that understands and combats how lives are being threatened.

How can we look to trans and queer knowledge and politics in WGS during this moment of fugitivity? What are the ways we can hold onto would-be lost, hidden, and submerged archives of LGBTQ knowledge? Further, how do we, as Eric Stanley says, “look toward infrastructures of interdependence—aesthetic, organizational, and more—that attend to harm without reproducing its inevitability under a claim of its cessation”? This year’s LGBTQ Caucus call welcomes critical scholarship and creative work that responds to topics such as: Challenging neoliberal approaches to anti-trans and anti-trans legislative attacks Politics of liberation that disrupt white supremacy, settler colonialism, and racial capitalism Responses to the ongoing structures of carceral logics Mutual aid as queer/trans infrastructure Administrative violence Criminalized healthcare Queer/trans knowledge production Resistance to state legibility

Meeting Gloria Steinem after her talk at Auburn University in 2014.

#womensstudies #wgs #feminism

@wgssouth.bsky.social Sep 3, 2026, 12:50 PM

Gloria Steinem, pioneer of the feminist movement, has passed at the age of 92. She was a force to be reckoned with, yet her kindness was always evident.

Think of Steinem's life and work today, and when you have the opportunity, choose to show empathy.
